Guerlain Liu is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Jacques Guerlain. Liu opens with Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Woody, Iris, and Vanilla. Guerlain's Liu carries a Favourite verdict, an aldehydic-led wear.

A divisive but utterly classic aldehydic floral, Liu is either a clean, airy, and sophisticated take on a timeless style or a screechy, old-fashioned soap. Comparisons to Chanel No. 5 are inevitable and constant, so expect a familiar yet distinctly Guerlain experience.

About

Liu opens with a bold, crisp burst of aldehydes, instantly evoking a sense of classic cleanliness and sparkle. This vibrant freshness then settles into a heart of delicate rose and rich jasmine, offering a floral embrace that's both elegant and substantial. As it matures, a soft, powdery iris emerges, harmonising with subtle woody notes and a whisper of warm vanilla, grounding the composition while maintaining its ethereal quality. It's a scent of refined contrasts: cool yet warm, traditional yet enduringly beautiful.
